History PlayingWith / CameBackWrong

* '''Exaggerated''': Mary comes back as a mostly SoullessShell, with only a tiny fragment of her DamagedSoul remaining, gradually becoming an InhumanHuman before transforming into a full-out MonsterFromBeyondTheVeil.

** Mary comes back fine, but the things John did to revive her [[TheDArkSideWillMakeYouForget begin to corrupt him.]]

* '''Downplayed''': Mary dies but is revived by John. She's okay for the most part, only now she's got [[HorrorHunger these weird cravings for brains and/or blood]].

** A demon piggybacked on Mary's resurrection to get into the mortal realm, and is hijacking her body while working to weaken the veil between worlds and usher in a new age of terror, while holding what remains of her soul as a bit of {{blackmail}} against poor John.

* '''Played for Horror''': Mary has come back as an outright EldritchAbomination.

** Mary was brought back in the same body she died in, with nothing being done to fix said body after her death, which, since a dead body not only lacks the ability to heal, but inevitably begins to decompose[[note]]And this is assuming that there was no funeral preparation of any kind, as things would only get worse if the dead body was ''embalmed''.[[/note]], means Mary is forced back into a body that's in no kind of shape to support life, which is agonizing at best.

** Mary returns, good as new... But contact with the unearthly forces he had to harness in order to perform the resurrection caused John to GoMadFromTheRevelation or become a victim of DemonicPossession... and having been effectively {{Unperson}}ed due to her death, Mary has nowhere to turn for help.

* '''Parodied''': Post-resurrection, Mary has become a [[EvilLaugh cackling]], ObviouslyEvil [[TheVamp Vamp]] running around wrecking havoc... and John doesn't see anything wrong with her or her new 'hobbies', explaining everything away with increasingly inane excuses.
* '''Zig Zagged''': After the worry and the deterioration, we find out that was just Mary messing with them. Which was out of character...and a symptom of her coming back wrong. However it turns out she is just using the resurrection as an excuse to reinvent herself.

** Her "wrongness" further corrodes due to the nature of being a resurrected person to the point where she becomes too "wrong" for her to have an opinion about her own state of being. All agree that she has been irredeemably corrupted by her resurrection.

* '''Played for Drama''': A demon piggybacked on Mary's resurrection to get into the mortal realm, and is hijacking her body while working to weaken the veil between worlds and usher in a new age of terror, while holding what remains of her soul as a bit of blackmail against poor John.

* '''Downplayed''': Mary dies but is revived by John. She's okay for the most part, except now she's got [[HorrorHunger these weird cravings for brains, blood, or both]].

'''Basic Trope''': Someone is brought {{back from the dead}} ... but there's something wrong with them.

** Because bringing someone back from the dead goes against the very nature of things, they can never return as normal.

** Mary was a deeply disturbed individual before her death, but becomes more 'normal' and healthy after being brought back.

** Mary CameBackStrong, and is now something more than what she was before her death and resurrection.

** Everyone is revived with no major change in demeanor.

* '''Lampshaded''': "Told you Mary wasn't going to be the same,"
* '''Invoked''': When Mary was killed, the murderer laid a curse upon her to screw with any resurrection attempts.

* '''Exploited''': [[ManipulativeBastard Mephistopheles]] uses this for a two for one special. Bob [[DealWithTheDevil sold his soul]] to resurrect Alice. He knows she'll come back deeply scarred and will likely make a deal herself to get revenge on Bob.
* '''Defied''': John refuses to bring her back -- or, rather, to use any method of bringing her back with even the ''slightest'' chance of having some negative effect on her.

** She becomes less like "Mary" and more like a different person. Through this, she assumes a different identity entirely.
* '''Plotted A Good Waste''':

* '''Played For Laughs''': Mary used to be a natural blonde -- now she's a brunette. [[FelonyMisdemeanor Much to her horror]].
* '''Played For Drama''': A demon piggybacked on Mary's resurrection to get into the mortal realm, and is hijacking her body while working to weaken the veil between worlds and usher in a new age of terror, while holding what remains of her soul as a bit of blackmail against poor John.

You could try to bring back CameBackWrong, but it's probably a better idea to just let it go.

** Mary was brought back in the same body she died in, with nothing being done to fix said body after her death, which, since a dead body not only lacks the abitily heal, but inevitably begins to decompose[[note]] this is assuming that there was no funeral preparation of any kind, as things would only get worse if the dead body was ''embalmed''[[/note]], means Mary is forced back into a body that's in no kind of shape to support life, which is agonizing at best.

** Mary was brought back in the same body she died in, without anything being done to fix said body after her death. Since a dead body not only cannot heal, but begins to decompose (and this is assuming that there hasn't been any kind of funeral preparation; if her dead body was ''embalmed'' things would only get worse), this means Mary is forced back into a body that's in no kind of shape to support life, which is agonizing at best.

* '''Straight''': Mary died. John manages to bring her back to life... only to find that she's [[UncannyValleyGirl not quite the girl he remembers her as]].
